This is a great package at a great price.Good old wig wearing,gun toting megalomaniac Phil Spector sure made some excellent tunes at his height,Tom Wolfe reffered to Phil as the "tycoon of teen".This cd contains many classics from Be My Baby,River Deep Mountain High,Unchained Melody.You also get the legendary Phil Spector christmas album.Credit should be applied all round,especially the lyric writers.Obviously Phils the star though.I believe a film is being made with Al Pacino as Spector,should be cool as they do not make stars like Phil anymore,borderline crazy genius flanked by bodyguards,taking no prisoners whether its Lennon or Cohen.Obviously the situation has ended with Phil behind bars,though lefty Hollywood is slowly starting a Spector is innocent campaign.Spector is a one man parable on stardom and madness.For the time being though listen to this great cd and remind yourself of the guys majestic talent.

Before being known for his complete inability to handle firearms and bizarre court appearances, Harvey Phillip Spector was the one of the greatest record producers of his time. This compilation features all the best recordings from his Philles period in the early to mid-60s.
With the great vocal talents of The Crystals, The Ronettes (whose lead singer Ronnie Bennett, Spector would later marry), The Righteous Brothers and of course Tina Turner just to mention a few. Spector's iconic (a word that is over-used, but I'm sure you'll agree not in this case) production style, The Wall Of Sound is documented perfectly here.
What sets this collection apart in my view is the fact that all the personnel that played in the legendary Wrecking Crew are all listed along with the songs they played on. Ideal if like me you're a bit of a nerd and like to know that sort of thing!!!
Also included is Spector's Xmas album, recorded believe or not at his fortress Gold Star Studios in California in the heat of the August summer!!! Believe me, once you've heard classic Xmas tunes given the Wall of Sound treatment, you'll wonder why you ever put up with having to listen to the turgid crap we're all subjected to every year.
A must buy for any music fan, treat yourself to the work of one of the 20th Centuries great musical figures.

Wallow in those fab days of the Wall of Sound from the rather odd Mr Spector. This is a great quality CD set, although unless it's Christmas you won't be listening to the CD 'A Christmas Gift For You.' You can have too much of a good thing. Ahem.
But the 'Wall of Sound Retrospective' CD has all the Ronettes, Crystals and other artists' big hits to deliver that super blast of tuneful sound you can't help tapping your foot or dancing to. Stick this on and revel in a sound that modern artists seem to have mislaid somewhere.

Have always loved Phil Spectre, this collection was good but not as good as expected,
There were a few tracks that were not as popular as most of his work, but on the
whole it brought back good memories of that 'era' which I wish we had now.
The Christmas CD is good, a bit cheesy but fun to listen to.
Not bad for the money 'guys', enjoy.
